FcMatrixCopy(3)

✨ FcMatrixCopy(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the FcMatrixCopy(3) page — it lives in the fontconfig family (the Fontconfig 3 section of the manual, iykyk) and honestly? it's a short one. a lil snack. a vibe. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

FcMatrixCopy — literally just copies a matrix, that's the whole personality 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

void FcMatrixCopy (const FcMatrix *matrix);

like, include the header first obviously 🙈 — fontconfig/fontconfig.h — and then you've got your one function, void, takes a const FcMatrix * named matrix. no surprises. no plot twists. 💜

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so FcMatrixCopy allocates a new FcMatrix (yes, brand new, freshly allocated, main character energy 👑) and copies mat into it.

ok tiny heads up because I love you: the manpage straight up says it copies mat into the new matrix, even though the actual parameter in the synopsis is called matrix. same thing, just the docs being a lil quirky 😭 — I'm not "fixing" it, I'm telling you exactly what it says 🫶

and that's it. that's the function. short, sweet, slays, periodt. 🌈

💖 a lil sign-off 💖

this iconic little page is from Fontconfig 2.17.0, dated 27 June 2025 — so if you're citing it in your notes, that's the version and that's the date, no cap. now go forth and copy those matrices, bestie 💅✨🍓
